What it does: Leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions for thousands of diverse applications worldwide.
How it leads: Microchip is the semiconductor industry’s greatest Cinderella Story, having come a long way since it was a failing spinoff of General Instrument in 1989. Since then, the company had the most successful IPO of 1993, achieved the No. 1 ranking in 8-bit microcontrollers in 2002 (and still No. 1 in 2015), and recorded its 103rd consecutive quarter of profitability in June 2016.
